From reading that if I didn't know better, I would say that Ectaco is better because they allow me to request any book I want and they will find it and send it to me free of charge where if I have a Sony or Kindle, I have to go to Sony or Amazon to PAY for books which can be as expensive as $30.
So yes, Ectaco is saying the only place for me to get eBooks for my Sony is from Sony and I only have a limited number to choose from and Ectaco has 500,000 free access eBooks which to most people, the term "free access eBooks" means nothing at all.
And if you look at the outdated comparison chart, you will see the Jetbook falls flat on formats. And if Ectaco did actually update this chart, you'd see a lot of the wins in the Jetbook column would no longer be wins. Well, that is if they actually told the truth and didn't mislead and fudge the facts.
